Also I have included some games on the list that were not originally released on or developed for the DOS platform (those are mostly roguelikes though perhaps I should have included Prince of Persia but it says "Apple II" right in the URL so I didn't I'm sure someone could more or less easily write a DOS port though). I understand that in many instances the source code, as released, does not directly correlate with the DOS version (and cannot be compiled into a DOS executable without modifications), especially if that game was ported over to other platforms since the original release. On a second thought, that whole story is really creepy.īack on topic, I appreciate the links for Digger and Sopwith (I guess I linked straight to SDL-Sopwith at SF).

Available source ports are not listed.Ĭompletely free games (including formerly commercial) Warning! : read difficulty above.Listed below are DOS games with available source code, either with free or open game data, or just the code. Each ball you shoot will give you 250 points and they spawn at about 2-10 per second (depending on system speed and detail level). When the screen stops and a little building in the middle of the screen shoots wiggly homing balls at you, stay to one side of the screen and hold down the fire button. You can get infinite cash by entering the 2nd secret level (Asteroids-B I think).
(And there's no way to LOOSE money/points after you gained it (when you've bought all you can)) So if you play this game carefully (killing only say 10% monsters), it will get easier and easier, whereas if you play aggressively and kill everything (close to 90%) you gain lots of points and the game will get tough in the end. When playing two player mode, make sure player one uses the mouse since he'll control both ships when linked.ĭifficulty in Tyrian is a bit strange, since the toughness of the monsters is linear to the score (money) you have in the game (multiplied by difficulty factor) !įor instance, there is a level (read spoiler below) where you can gain infinite money, if you let it run an entire night and gain say 20.000.000 points, the monsters will get VERY tough! (even lightning/zica lasers cant kill some planes). Playing Tyrian with the mouse (especially a quick optical mouse) will give you much better control over your ship (able to sneak powerups and points from between ships and dodging bullets/ships more easily). (and those games should also list Tyrian 2000) "įor example: Xenon, Xenon 2 Megablast, Raiden.
